Chapter 323 This person is probably useless in the future
Those who didn’t know would think there was a wild beast chasing him.
Xing'er now realized that the old man was so anxious to sell this small courtyard that he must have some connection with the family next door. However, no matter whether the person living next door was a human or a ghost, she was not afraid.
Seeing that it was still early, she simply took some food and went directly to Yelu Qi's mansion to wait.
She didn't know what the situation was like inside the palace. The area she could see was limited, and she was not familiar with the terrain of the palace. The palace was too big, and if she rashly entered an unfamiliar place, she would risk being caught.
After much thought, Xing'er finally decided that it would be more reliable to stay in Yelu Qi's mansion and eat melons nearby.
Not only can she see the hustle and bustle of the Second Prince's Mansion, but she also doesn't have to be caught. It's the best of both worlds!
Even if she's unlucky and gets discovered by them, it doesn't matter. She can still run away!
Xing'er arrived quite early. Even though she hadn't slept all night, she was still in high spirits. However, the people in the Second Prince's Mansion were not in such a good mood.
All the property in the mansion was stolen, and their prince was also missing. They spent the whole night looking for the thief who stole the property, and they spent the whole night looking for their prince.
Now they are all exhausted and haggard!
Despite this, they did not find either the thief or the prince.
Concubine Ye lay listlessly on the chair, her hair disheveled, and she looked completely lifeless.
It was as if the glamorous Concubine Ye never existed.
It is not surprising that Concubine Ye is like this. After all, she can't even put together a complete set of headwear now.
She asked wearily, "Hasn't the thief been found yet?"
The person being questioned lowered his head, not daring to look at Concubine Ye, and stuttered, "Reply... Reply to Concubine Ye... Your Majesty, I have already asked everyone in the mansion... Everyone in the mansion, and no one has seen that thief!"
Concubine Ye said expressionlessly, "What about His Highness? Any news?"
"Your Highness...Your Highness...Your Highness hasn't disappeared either, but I have already reported your disappearance. I believe the Emperor will soon send someone to help search for you!"
Concubine Ye closed her eyes and imagined picking up the cup on the table and smashing it against the kneeling person as usual. However, she didn't get anything as usual, and her attack was empty. Suddenly, her face twisted: "You are all a bunch of trash, what use are you?"
The subordinates kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
Soon someone hurried in from outside and whispered something in Concubine Ye's ear. Concubine Ye's face changed drastically and she stood up directly from the chair.
She hurried out the door.
Xing'er lay on the roof, taking in everything below. Her gaze followed Concubine Ye and soon saw the sedan chair that came to Shuixieju last night to carry people.
Her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately found the best position to watch.
The sedan was only delivered this morning, which means they didn't discover it last night and were able to send the sedan into the palace smoothly.
It seems that Yelu Qi was discovered and sent back by his father, the emperor.
Xing'er could now imagine how rich the expression on the Northern Di Emperor Yelu Haoran's face would be when he discovered that the beauty his son had given him was actually his son himself.
She didn't think of going anywhere else. After all, looking at Yelu Qi's condition, if she lifted his veil and observed carefully, she would find something wrong.
Xiaowen doesn't have the ability to change a person's appearance.
While he was thinking for a moment, Concubine Ye had already walked to the front of the sedan chair and reached out to lift the curtain.
When she saw the scene inside the sedan, her pupils shrank unconsciously.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Xing'er heard the trembling in Concubine Ye's voice. She looked into the sedan curiously and her pupils shrank suddenly.
Yelu Qi was seen lying limply in the sedan chair, looking like a cripple with his bones removed. His half-naked upper body was covered with dense, dark purple bruises, and there was not a single intact spot on his body.
The dislocated bones in his body were not reconnected. It must be that the Emperor of Beidi discovered that he had been deceived and beat him severely.
Xing'er thought so purely.
She was glad that it was not her who entered the palace, otherwise she would have become like this. Xiaowen was right, this palace was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
Yelu Haoran didn't even spare his own son, and beat him like this. If it were me, wouldn't the end be even worse?
Xing'er was still frightened when she saw Yelu Qi's miserable appearance.
Concubine Ye's face turned red and white, and then white and red. As a married woman, how could she not know how the marks on Yelu Qi came about?
"Your Highness...Your Highness...How did you get these injuries?"
At this moment, she still held a bit of hope in her heart.
I really hope that's not what she thinks!
It wasn't Yelu Qi's personal guards who brought him back, but a palace servant. He kept his eyes downcast and kept his mouth shut: "To answer the question, Concubine, the Emperor ordered me to bring His Highness back. Last night, His Highness disguised himself as a woman and sneaked into the palace to hang out with the maids. The Emperor discovered him and, in a rage, beat her with a stick and confined her."
"Your Highness has suffered a lot, so please take good care of the Concubine!"
After the palace maid put down the sedan chair, she said a few words to Concubine Ye and turned away.
Concubine Ye looked at Yelu Qi, who was like a pile of mud in the sedan chair. She didn't know what she was thinking about. Her legs went weak and she fainted.
It was obvious that the person sent to the palace last night was the one from Shuixieju. In order to ensure that things went smoothly, the housekeeper went to inquire about the news.
After she was sent to the palace, the emperor clearly favored the beauty.
But they clearly sent the one from Shuixieju, so why did he become His Highness?
It seems that in this situation, His Highness has become the beauty being sent up, so doesn't that mean...
The butler's face was as pale as paper at this moment, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead!
A storm of anxiety quickly erupted in his heart. He quickly realized something and said to everyone around him in a timid tone, "There has never been any Miss Xing'er in the Second Prince's mansion. Remember this, no one is allowed to reveal a single word to me. If I learn that any of you dares to reveal even the slightest hint, I will certainly not forgive you!"
Xing'er watched helplessly as the housekeeper and several servants wrapped Yelu Qi in a quilt and quickly carried him into the mansion. She couldn't understand what they were doing. Wasn't it just a beating?
However, his bones had been broken by himself a long time ago, and he did not receive timely treatment. He was also beaten by the Northern Di Emperor, so this man was most likely to be useless in the future.
